We back and we have updates!

Hi everyone,

I know it has been a while since my last post but we have been crazy busy lately.

We went to both Grandma's on Mother's day...Eleanor had lots of FUN!
Then the next weekend a jewelry show (jewelry by my sister!) at Troy Bank and Trust in Troy, AL.  We raised over $500.00 for CF in 4 hours...so excited.  Thank you to everyone who gave!!
On Saturday off to Birmingham to see Jennifer on Senior Recognition Sunday...can't beleive she is going to graduate this Thursday!!

Life was hectic but fun and then on Sunday Eleanor got sick. :(   She emptied her stomach contents at my mom's house after she had gone to sleep.  She was so cute though...all she wanted to do was go back to sleep.  Her episodes woke her up three times and all three times she went back to sleep after a pj change and a bed sheet change.  She gave Grami a workout!

On Monday we made it home and she seemed to recover and we even went to the beach on Tuesday with Daddy.  She had such a blast!! 

Wednesday, well, it was a really bad day all around.  She acted horribly and wednesday are the days that it is just the two of us all day.  Needless to say, when bedtime came I was past ready. 

Thursday she woke up with a low grade fever so off to our peds dr it was.  She had a sputum culture done after much angst and we didn't really know what was wrong.

This weekend she did pretty good...she had no stamina on Thursday or Friday but when she saw Nanny and Bubs she acted a lot better.

Today I get a call from the doc's office and we have cultured PSUEDOMONAS AGAIN!!!  So frustrating does not even begin to express my feelings.  We were in the hospital in January for it and it was supposed to stay away!  I guess nobody told the PA that.  So starting tomorrow we are on TOBI for at least 28 days it may be a month and a half.  We are also going to be on the oral antiboitic Cipro for 14 days.  TOBI means albuterol and this means five breathing treatments a day with the Cipro twice a day and vest twice a day.  UGH!! 

The GOOD news is that we have some way to treat the bacteria...the bad news is that she shouldn't have it!  I know you all pray for her but we will need lots of prayer over this next month as she is not always happy sitting still to do her treatments now and she is quite ill-tempered because of the PA.

I do have a funny story...
We get home on Monday and Eleanor and I have the following conversation...remember she is not yet 2.5 years old yet.


Eleanor: I want to go bye bye!
Me: Where do you want to go?
Eleanor:  I want to go to the grocery store
Me: Why do you want to go to the grocery store?
Eleanor: I want a cookie
Me: You want a cookie, what kind of cookie?
Eleanor: a sprinkle cookie to eat!  Yum!

Also after struggling with Eleanor for A WHILE at the doctor's office to let them look at her throat (which we never accomplished) the nurse says okay Eleanor I'm done, can I have a hug?  Eleanor looks at her and then gives her a big squeeze and while she is hugging her she says ooooweeee!

Then we go out in the hallway and she walks up to her doc and gives her a hug.  She is so sweet!  I think she was saying nice to know you but I am leaving now!

One more!  This Saturday we had gone outside to draw with chalk and we came inside first then Robert came in and when he came in she looked at him and said," Daddy what are you doing?" Like it was her business what he was fixing to do...

Anyways, sorry for the long post but I wanted to update you since it had been a while.
